You used your voice to tell a story
Humming and howling
Your voice danced with glory
It spoke of pleasure, humility, and sorrow
You used your strength to push to the top of your register
Shouted your passion and whistled your tune
Inspired and awed, you wrote
And sang with such devote
You used your voice
To express a melody
Used rhythm, rhyme, and runs
To reveal an untold love story
Resonating the deepest of pains into verses of beauty
I sat and watched with wonder
Tears began to flow under
Your story echoed through the crowd
As they sang back to you loud
You strummed your guitar, played your piano
And climbed to the topmost peak
Where you bared all, for us to see
You shared your story and made me feel my story
Helped me use my story to connect to all stories
